Since then, it's been launched into the internet stratosphere in a way that few in the same industry have achieved. The 140 character platform was adopted and built upon its userbase and revolutionised the way we distribute and share content.

Twitter has become a compulsion for many; getting their news and entertainment from one source and allowing them to keep up with flowing events in their fast-paced worlds. It allows users, friends and family to connect quickly and spawns wonderful meme's, made and shared in a matter of seconds.

Most of all, Twitter makes us feel like a global community. Your tweet has the ability to travel to the far corners of the earth and gives us a platform for our voices, even if not everybody listens! But it gives us that chance.
